Cold Wind Ice Cave.
Two guardians knelt respectfully, their voices low: "Master!"
Peng Feng nodded and floated deeper into Cold Wind Ice Cave. Following Peng Feng was Lord of Liang City Pang Jing, and behind them, Peng Yue'er led a group of clan members, all with somber expressions.
"Clang!"
The heavy iron door opened, and suddenly there was brightness ahead, with countless torches forming a sea of light.
Ye Yang slightly raised his head, looking at the distant figures flickering in the light, his heart trembled as he thought, "This malicious Peng Feng, could it be that he intends to come personally to finish me off?"
But in the next moment, Ye Yang changed his mind, for he surprisingly saw a hint of a smile on Peng Feng's face, yet it was such a strange smile, as if it had been forcefully molded by someone’s hands, so stiff and unnatural.
"Crack!"
Peng Feng raised his hand, and the flames of True Qi brushed past. The heavy iron chains binding Ye Yang were instantly melted away, breaking apart. Peng Feng's profound cultivation was evident; the chains that Ye Yang had struggled against for so long were easily severed by Peng Feng.
"Thud..."
A golden token fell in front of Ye Yang. Peng Feng said lightly: "Ye Yang, this is your token. Take it home and don't keep your father waiting."
"Hmph!"
Ye Yang picked up the token and looked at it in surprise. The token was engraved with the words "National Talent", yet Peng Feng had thrown this token to him. What did this mean?
However, he did not ask further. Being a clever person, Ye Yang tucked the token into his pocket, then stood up straight and looked at Peng Feng, saying: "Clan Leader, what about my crimes?"
"You have no faults. Go..." Peng Feng suddenly sighed.
Ye Yang nodded lightly and calmly walked out of the Cold Wind Ice Cave. As he brushed past Peng Yue'er, he noticed that the beautiful girl's eyes held less hatred and more surprise.
Watching Ye Yang's retreating figure, Pang Jing clenched his fists and whispered, "Pang Zongzhu, are we just going to let this matter rest?"
Peng Feng's eyes filled with boundless resentment as he coldly laughed, "Let this kid go for now. As long as he avoids Zeng Xuan's gaze, I have many ways to kill him!"
"Hey, what you need to think about now isn't that!" Pang Jing replied lightly. "You should consider how to explain General Wang Dian's death at the Fire God Clan. If you can't come up with a suitable idea, as the city lord, I can only report to the State Government that General Wang Dian died at Pang Residence under mysterious circumstances."
"You!"
Peng Feng was slightly angry, never expecting Pang Jing to shift all the blame onto him.
However, Peng Feng was very shrewd and quickly put on a smiling face, his gaze deep as he looked westward. "General Wang Dian led an army to expedition against Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in Dazeyang. As long as we spend some silver to bribe a few of General Wang Dian's subordinates, then everything will be explained away!"
"Oh, explained away?" Pang Jing asked with a forced smile.
Peng Feng nodded. "Last night, General Wang Dian personally led the guards to observe enemy movements in the mountains ahead of Dazeyang but unfortunately encountered a High-Level Beast that had emerged from the Azure Cloud Mountain Range. As a result, General Wang Dian met a tragic end under the beast's fangs, his head carried away—he died for his country!"
Pang Jing's expression hardened. "What? General Wang Dian is brave and invincible; how could he die at the hands of a beast? There shouldn't be any star-level beasts appearing at the edge of Azure Cloud Mountain Range!"
Peng Feng smiled slightly and said calmly, "Lord Pang, to be honest, I have traveled far and wide for many years and collected countless treasures. Among them, what I value most are two White Jade Fruits. This type of fruit can strengthen meridians and enhance cultivation. My daughter Peng Yue'er consumed one and advanced two levels; there is still one White Jade Fruit left. I heard your son was injured in a duel and his cultivation has greatly diminished. This White Jade Fruit should help him recover quickly and even advance his cultivation!"
Pang Jing was taken aback and thought secretly: Good for you, Peng Feng; you actually know my weakness. Throughout my life, what I care about most is my only son Pang Nan. The White Jade Fruit is a rare treasure that cannot be bought even with vast wealth; now this Peng Feng is willing to transfer it?
Well, it must be fate!
Pang Jing nodded and said, "Then I will send someone to return General Wang Dian's body to Xianyang. Additionally, Liang City will dispatch a hundred riders to hunt that beast in Azure Cloud Mountain Range. I hope the clan leader can send some elite family members!"
"Alright, thank you, Lord Pang, for standing up for the Peng Family!"
Peng Feng bowed slightly, his attitude respectful. This made Pang Jing quite pleased; a strong individual at Earth Level Nine showing such humility was indeed a display of power!
After dismissing Pang Jing, Peng Feng called for the family supervisor and said, "You will personally deliver the White Jade Fruit to the City Lord's Mansion. Additionally, dispatch 50 elite members from our clan to the City Lord's Mansion to serve him. Make sure it is done without error!"
"Yes, sir!"
The supervisor floated away.
Peng Yue'er stepped forward and said, "Father, are we really going to give them the White Jade Fruit? Those two pieces of White Jade Fruit were earned with your life!"
Peng Feng smiled slightly and replied, "Yue'er, you have seen Zeng Xuan's strength. This time, the Peng Family truly has to concede."
"What about Ye Yang? Are we just going to let him go so easily? Father, don't forget that Ye Yang not only angered you but also severely injured Peng Cheng. This is simply an insult from the Ye Family to the Peng Family!"
"Don't worry, I won't let him off so easily!"
A trace of resentment flashed in Peng Feng's eyes as he said, "The Ye Family's foundation in Liang City is the Ye Family Forge. Now that their treasured weapon, the Rock Cleaving Blade, is in our hands and Ye Beichi is seriously injured, the Ye Family Forge's status in Liang City will inevitably be damaged. Perhaps we won't even need to act; the Ye Family may disappear on their own!"
Peng Yue'er nodded and said, "I will visit the Peng Family Forge more often these days. Also, the goods purchased from Handan, Linzi, and Shangqiu have arrived. They are all Ninth Rank and Eighth Rank weapons. Should we place them all in the Peng Family Forge as our town's armaments?"
"Yes!" Peng Feng showed a hint of satisfaction and said, "Put all these weapons into the Peng Family Forge. Together with the Three Major Merchant Guilds, we must ensure that within a year, the Ye Family Forge cannot conduct a single transaction!"
"Understood!"
While father and daughter conspired to squeeze out the Ye Family Forge, Ye Yang was already on his way home.
Under the moonlight, Ye Yang walked raggedly along Liangcheng Avenue. It was already early morning, but ahead, torches flickered. Ye Yang suddenly shivered, as if someone was approaching!
In the next moment, a familiar scene came into view. Ye Nantian's bulky figure moved with surprising lightness, swiftly closing the distance in just a few leaps. Behind him followed a group of armed warriors, all members of Ye Manor's Guardhouse and servants.
Seeing the disheveled Ye Yang before him, Ye Nantian was taken aback and exclaimed, "Zi Yu! You... you have returned?"
Ye Yang nodded with a smile, "Father..."
Ye Nantian let out a long cry to the heavens and fainted from overwhelming joy. A group of servants hurriedly supported him and made their way back to Ye Manor.
Everything seemed to have settled down, but in reality, dark currents were stirring, and the struggles were far from over.
